Last December, I had the privilege to witness the beauty of Global Village, one of Dubai's wonderful seasonal attractions which highlights diverse cultures from around the world.

Since I was in Dubai for almost 5 months, me and my friend made a simple bucket list of the places that we want to visit and we opted to try this one first as tourists can get around the world in one day with this amazing attraction. We payed a minimal fee of 15 AED/189 pesos for the general admission ticket. Not bad!

Here are the Pavilions/Booths that stood out for me :)
Participating countries showcase their rich culture and heritage by selling interesting arts, crafts, foods, clothing and other things native or unique in their motherland. This event not only help generate income but boost tourism as well.
